Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Bitter is just that. Bitter. He detests his lot in life. He had been a  happy little eggie then some big mean vampire had to bite him and make him this. The only thing that comforts him is that he does his best to curb his appetite. He'd rather starve then condemn another innocent egg to his miserable way of life. The few eggies he has bitten were against his will, forced to by Kanaye who was worried he'd drop dead of starvation. Each time she combed the wilderness for an abandoned egg and tempted him with it until he could no longer resist.
